Eager to write a new racquet review, I asked my friend Marla at City Racquet Shop for “Hot” racquet ideas. She suggested I take a look at the Tour Pro 98 and the Tour 98 ESP, two new racquets from Prince that have gotten a ton of buzz from tennis publications.
The Tour Pro is for players seeking control, while the Tour ESP is for those seeking more spin. Do they succeed in those goals? The short answer is yes. I’ve never owned a Prince racquet, but that might change after three straight wins in tough doubles play during my test hit.
